High-throughput cell imaging facilitates the analysis of cell migration across many wells treated under different biological conditions. These workflows generate considerable technical noise and biological variability, and therefore technical and biological replicates are necessary, leading to large, hierarchically structured datasets, i.e., cells are nested within technical replicates that are nested within biological replicates. Current statistical analyses of such data usually ignore the hierarchical structure of the data and fail to explicitly quantify uncertainty arising from technical or biological variability. To address this gap, we present cellmig, an R package implementing Bayesian hierarchical models for migration analysis. cellmig quantifies condition- specific velocity changes (e.g., drug effects) while modeling nested data structures and technical artifacts. It further enables synthetic data generation for experimental design optimization.

satuRn provides a higly performant and scalable framework for performing differential transcript usage analyses. The package consists of three main functions. The first function, fitDTU, fits quasi-binomial generalized linear models that model transcript usage in different groups of interest. The second function, testDTU, tests for differential usage of transcripts between groups of interest. Finally, plotDTU visualizes the usage profiles of transcripts in groups of interest.

The POMA package offers a comprehensive toolkit designed for omics data analysis, streamlining the process from initial visualization to final statistical analysis. Its primary goal is to simplify and unify the various steps involved in omics data processing, making it more accessible and manageable within a single, intuitive R package. Emphasizing on reproducibility and user-friendliness, POMA leverages the standardized SummarizedExperiment class from Bioconductor, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility with a wide array of Bioconductor tools. This approach guarantees maximum flexibility and replicability, making POMA an essential asset for researchers handling omics datasets. See https://github.com/pcastellanoescuder/POMAShiny.

msqrob2 provides a robust linear mixed model framework for assessing differential abundance in MS-based Quantitative proteomics experiments. Our workflows can start from raw peptide intensities or summarised protein expression values. The model parameter estimates can be stabilized by ridge regression, empirical Bayes variance estimation and robust M-estimation. msqrob2's hurde workflow can handle missing data without having to rely on hard-to-verify imputation assumptions, and, outcompetes state-of-the-art methods with and without imputation for both high and low missingness. It builds on QFeature infrastructure for quantitative mass spectrometry data to store the model results together with the raw data and preprocessed data.

Low- and high-level wrappers for Gemma's RESTful API. They enable access to curated expression and differential expression data from over 10,000 published studies. Gemma is a web site, database and a set of tools for the meta-analysis, re-use and sharing of genomics data, currently primarily targeted at the analysis of gene expression profiles.

Omixer - an Bioconductor package for multivariate and reproducible sample randomization, which ensures optimal sample distribution across batches with well-documented methods. It outputs lab-friendly sample layouts, reducing the risk of sample mixups when manually pipetting randomized samples.
